==Early career==

Born into a Konkani-speaking family, his family settled in Shirali, a village near [[Bhatkal]] in [[Uttara Kannada]] of Karnataka State. He had an elder sister, Shyamala, and an elder brother, actor [[Anant Nag]]. After completing formal education, Nag moved to [[Bombay]]. There, he was attracted to Marathi theatre and immersed himself in theatrical activities. Incidentally, he met his future wife, [[Arundhati Nag|Arundhathi]] during a drama rehearsal.

Nag then shifted base to Karnataka. His elder brother Anant had already established himself as an actor and urged Nag to act in films. In 1978 Nag made his debut in the role of a mercenary in [[Girish Karnad]]'s epic film ''[[Ondanondu Kaladalli]],'' where he played a mercenary who earns a position in a rival army to get even with his brother, whom he considers his enemy.

==Acting and directing==
Following the modest success{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} of ''[[Ondanondu Kaladalli]]'' and the critical accolades he won,{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} Nag appeared in other films.

Around the same time,{{when|date=July 2020}} he also made his directorial debut with ''[[Minchina Ota (1980 film)|Minchina Ota]]'', one of the earliest heist movie in Kannada cinema. This won him seven state awards,{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} including that for best film. ''[[Janma Janmada Anubandha]]'' and ''[[Geetha (Kannada film)|Geetha]]''<ref>{{cite book|last=Nag|first=Anant|url=http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13504305-nanna-tamma-shankara|title='Nanna tamma Shankara' (My brother Shankara)|publisher=Total Kannada|year=2001|isbn=9788192226903|location=Bangalore|access-date=16 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110051835/http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13504305-nanna-tamma-shankara|archive-date=10 November 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> followed.

Shankar]]''. He formed a popular pair{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} with top actress ''[[Bhavya]]'' who acted with him in 11 films.
